marke_gilbert Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Just got notified for sure, 2 of my urban street shots are being published in a McGraw-Hill textbook of all things. Theyre to serve as prompts for writing assignments. <P>Not a huge deal, but a minor milestone for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorn ake Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Terrific! Textbooks are one of those things that actually make money, so they are not to be sneezed at by any stretch. I always use photographs while teaching writing - old cabinet cards from the early part of the century. Very effective. A picture is worth 1,000 words. My students just have to figure out which words to use. Should have written a textbook I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Congratulations! Each time I've had something published I still get perplexed because I don't ever think anything I shoot is good enough and because everything I've had published was submitted by someone other than me and it was a surprise seeing it in print.

david_eppstein Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Congratulations! One of my zoo shots just got accepted for a kids' book from Scholastic so I know how you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_britt1 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 congrats... one of my photos of Bobby Darin is in a new bio of him. Good reason to keep negs where you can find them. Wonder how that will all work with the digital age?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
._._z Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 <i> Wonder how that will all work with the digital age </i><p> Yes, and it's a damned shame that people used transparency film, because it meant they too could throw away individual slides. <p> It's funny when people blame a tool for the owners' mistakes.

kevin m. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Congrats, Marke. <p> Jim, That's a cool shot. It almost looks as if it could have been a reflection in the studio glass rather than a double exposure. <p> 'Z', you need to learn this from Jay: If you're going to use this forum as a pulpit to preach to us ignorant sinners, it helps to be <i>funny</i> once in a while. Otherwise, you come across as a droning bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_britt1 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 well, I know I've had some slides that needed to be thrown away, actually torn and thrown away : ) but, on a move from Las Vegas to L.A. in 1967, I lost half of my black and white negs from all the years on the road as an entertainer and I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I see some of the old proof sheets and no negs.

Alex_Es Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Good for you, Mark! Even after you get more stuff published it is still a thrill to see yourself in print. Understand Jay's feelings. Publication goes both ways. First the euphoria and then--did I really say that? Or: The color is wrong on this photo, it's to small, it should've been cropped... Just have to keep publishing.

ron_l Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 >>"Wonder how that will all work with the digital age?"<< answer....not as well. just saw a piece on ABC news where the photo editor of TIME was interviewed. she said it was a problem. she cited the example of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. when the story broke she wanted a picture of the two of them together to put on the cover but none of the professional photogs shooting digital had saved the pictures. why would they? when they had taken the pictures and looked at them on their computers, nobody knew who monica lewinsky was so nobody saved the files. what happened? a film photographer went through his contact sheets and found the shot of monica hugging bill. then we all saw it on the cover of TIME.

roger_michel Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 jay -- you mention here that every time you get something published it has been the result of someone submitting the photo on your behalf. this seems at odds with your recent claim in another thread that you have sold a large number of photos through stock agencies. could you clear up this apparent discrepancy??

jim_britt1 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 by the way, the recent most lucrative use of my photos has come through my website... obviously the search engines work better than the stock agencies I used to be with, Corbis etc. who have sent a packet full of slides back to me. I plan to put a database on the website with the names of the people I have photoraphed etc. and then they can contact me directly, no 50% deduct etc. and i know just how good the scan is that I am sending them.

Go buy a bottle of Calvados, a good Cuban cigar, and have a little party. You've earned it. BTW, can you post the pics? We'd love to see them.

octavio bustard Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Jim Britt- your photos are really wonderful. Thats a bummer about losing all those negatives; I had the same thing happen to me from two binders of contact sheets shot in the 70s. Just cant find the negatives - and of course, the best stuff i ever did was in those two binders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
